Executive Overview — What We’re Dealing With

This specimen has persisted long enough to matter. Human experts classified it as Malware, and the telemetry confirms a capable, evasive Trojan with real impact potential.

Extended Dwell Time Impact

For 6+ minutes, this malware was rapidly detected — demonstrating excellent security controls that intercepted the threat during initial execution phases, severely limiting adversary capabilities.

Global Detection Posture — Who Caught It, Who Missed It

VirusTotal engines: 72. Detected as malicious: 53. Missed: 19. Coverage: 73.6%.

Why it matters: if any endpoint relies solely on a missed engine, this malware can operate with zero alerts. Prevention‑first controls close that gap regardless of signature lag.

Behavioral Storyline — How the Malware Operates

Dominant system-level operations (38.79% of behavior) suggest this malware performs deep system reconnaissance, privilege escalation, or core OS manipulation. It’s actively probing system defenses and attempting to gain administrative control.

MITRE ATT&CK Mapping

• T1620 – invoke .NET assembly method
• T1620 – load .NET assembly
• T1202 – Uses Windows utilities for basic functionality
• T1036 – Attempts to masquerade or mimic a legitimate process or file name
• T1055 – Creates a process in a suspended state, likely for injection
• T1112 – Installs itself for autorun at Windows startup
• T1547 – Installs itself for autorun at Windows startup
• T1547.001 – Installs itself for autorun at Windows startup
• T1082 – Checks available memory
• T1071 – Resolves a suspicious Top Level Domain (TLD)
• T1071 – Yara detections observed in process dumps, payloads or dropped files
• T1568 – Connects to a Dynamic DNS Domain
• T1106 – Guard pages use detected – possible anti-debugging.
• T1059 – Detected command line output monitoring
• T1129 – The process attempted to dynamically load a malicious function
• T1057 – The process has tried to detect the debugger probing the use of page guards.
• T1129 – The process tried to load dynamically one or more functions.
• T1057 – The process attempted to detect a running debugger using common APIs
• T1056 – The process behaves as a keylogger (keyboard capturing detected)
• T1082 – Queries for the computername
• T1060 – The process has tried to set its autorun on the system startup
• T1112 – The process has tried to set its autorun on the system startup
• T1050 – The process has tried to set its autorun on the system startup
• T1027.002 – .NET source code contains potential unpacker
• T1083 – Reads ini files

Following the Trail — Network & DNS Activity

Outbound activity leans on reputable infrastructure (e.g., CDNs, cloud endpoints) to blend in. TLS sessions and
HTTP calls show routine beaconing and IP‑lookup behavior that can masquerade as normal browsing.

Hunting tip: alert on unknown binaries initiating TLS to IP‑lookup services or unusual CDN endpoints — especially early in execution.
